my issue with keppra is my liver. i take milk thistle to help restore my liver. i think the bladder thing is the decrease of the liver.

Wouldn't it be so nice if we didn't need to take more medication to lessen the effects of what we already take? I hope everything works out for you Jenn.

I've been on Keppra for about over 10 years with Clobozam & Epival. I have not noticed any bladder issues since I was put on it. It can be a side effect you have got but not everyone is the same so I'd talk to your Dr. I find it makes me a tiny bit tired but Epival makes me very tired in the day only at night I'm awake & if I'm doing things.

I am currently seeing a urologist for this although right now there is no signs of a UTI just inflammation to the bladder which they are treating with medication.

deinitely get that checked out by a urologist. They may be able to help you better than your neurologist. Frequent UTI's can cause permanent damage to your organs. I experience gastritis because of how many different meds i'm on and how long I've been taking medication. I take 3 different kinds of AED and an antidepressant.
